1. Ready-to-bake green light

indicates when the appliance has reached the correct

temperature and is ready to use

2. Power ‘On’ red light

indicates that the appliance is switched on and heating

3. 4 deep pie wells

for a variety of pie ﬁllings

4. Pie cutter

for perfectly round and even pie bases and tops

5. Pie press

assists with inserting pastry bases into pie wells

6. Cool touch handle

with locking latch holds the appliance closed for perfectly

sealed pies

7. Easy clean non-stick plates

with crimper seal ensures pie edges are completely sealed

8. Sturdy non-skid feet

Cord wrap (not shown)

for easy storage

Before ﬁrst use

Remove and safely discard any packaging material and

promotional labels.

Wipe the cooking plates and outer housing with a soft

damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Season the cooking plates (top and base) with a little

vegetable oil and remove any excess oil with absorbent

kitchen paper towel. After the initial seasoning, there is no

need to season the plates before each use as the pastry

leaves the plates slightly seasoned. Avoid using spray on

oils unless speciﬁed to do so in a recipe.

Using the Pie Maker

NOTE

When using the Pie Maker for the first time you

may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by

the heating of some of the components and will

dissipate with use. There is no need for concern.

NOTE

Pie bases can be made with shortcrust pastry,

butter puff pastry, puff pastry, filo pastry or bread.

Pie tops can be made with butter puff pastry, puff

pastry, filo pastry, or bread. Shortcrust pastry should

not be used for pie tops as it does not rise or brown

properly. Pastry can be homemade or purchased

ready-made from supermarkets.

NOTE

The pie cutter is designed to cut the pastry tops

and bases to perfectly fit the pie wells. The smaller

cutter is for the pie tops and the large cutter is for

the pie bases (refer to image below).

Operating Your Breville Pie Maker

NOTE

If using pre-purchased frozen pastry sheets, remove

from the freezer in sufficient time for the pastry to

thaw slightly for easy cutting. Pastry becomes

difficult to handle if completely thawed. Two

standard 25cm square pastry sheets are sufficient

for making four pies. Any excess pastry rounds can

be refrozen for future use.

NOTE

Prepare the pie fillings in advance.

NOTE

The Pie Maker is designed for making four pies at a

time. Uneven cooking or burning may occur if only

one or two pies are cooked at a time.

1. Insert the plug into a 230/240v power outlet.

2. Close the lid of the Pie Maker and switch on at the

power outlet. The Power ‘ON’ red light will illuminate

until the Pie Maker is switched off at the power

outlet.

3. The Ready-to-bake green light illuminates when the

appliance has reached the correct temperature and

is ready to use

4. Lightly ﬂour the top surface of each pastry sheet

for easy cutting and to prevent pastry bases from

sticking to the pie press.

5. Cut 4 pastry bases and 4 pastry tops (if required) by

positioning the pie cutter over partially thawed pastry

sheets and press down ﬁrmly to make a straight cut

into the pastry. Do not twist. Ensure the cut is smooth

around the edges.

Tops

Bases

Operating Your Breville Pie Maker continued

6. Place a pastry base (ﬂoured side up) into the centre

of each pie well and use the pie press to press and

mould into the shape of the pie well, ensuring the

edges of the pastry overlap the crimping area of the

pie well.

7. Spoon ½ cup of pre-prepared or pre-cooked and

cooled ﬁlling into the pastry base unless speciﬁed to

do otherwise in the recipe. Do not overﬁll the pastry

bases.

NOTE

Do not use liquid ingredients only (such as sauces

and gravies or in large proportion to solids) for the

pie fillings, as liquid will overflow and make the

pastry soggy. Always combine liquid ingredients

with solid ingredients.

8. Place the pastry tops over the ﬁlling, ensuring the

edges are positioned evenly and aligned with the

pastry base edges.

9. Close the lid, ensuring the locking latch clicks into

position. The lid has to be securely closed to ensure

when baking pies that pastry tops and bases are

crimped together to seal in the ﬁlling.

NOTE

The lid must be closed when baking pies, but check

progress during baking so that desired shade of

golden brown is reached.

10. Cooking times will vary depending on the recipe. For

example, pies will require approximately 8 minutes.

NOTE

Do not use metal utensils to remove the cooked

items as these may scratch the non-stick surface of

the cooking plates.

11. Open the lid and remove the baked items using a

heat-proof plastic spatula or plastic tongs.

12. If more baking is required, close the lid and follow

Steps 3-10.

13. At the end of baking, switch off at the power outlet

and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Allow the appliance to cool slightly. The appliance

is easier to clean when slightly warm. (Refer to the

cleaning and storage instructions in this booklet).

Care, Cleaning and Storage

Care and Cleaning

Before cleaning, ensure the power is switched off at the

power outlet and the power cord is then unplugged from

the power outlet.

Allow the appliance to cool slightly. The appliance is

easier to clean when slightly warm. Always clean after

each use to prevent a build up of baked-on foods.

Cleaning the cooking plates

Wipe cooking plates with a soft, damp cloth and dry

thoroughly.

Do not use abrasive or metal utensils or scourers as they

will scratch the non-stick surface of the cooking plates.

Do not use harsh, abrasive or caustic cleaners, or oven

cleaners, when cleaning this appliance.

Cleaning the outer housing

Wipe the outer housing with a soft, damp cloth and dry

thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

Wipe any excess food particles from the power cord.

Do not use abrasive or metal utensils or scourers as

these may scratch the outer housing.

Storage

Before storage, turn the power off at the power outlet

and then remove the power plug. Ensure the appliance

has completely cooled and is clean and dry. Close the

lid, ensuring the locking latch clicks into position, then

wrap the power cord around the cord storage. Store the

appliance ﬂat or upright on the bench or in a convenient

cupboard. Do not place anything on top of the appliance

during storage.

Hints and Tips for Best Results

Pastry Pies

• A wide selection of ready-rolled pastry, such as

shortcrust, puff, butter puff and wholemeal, is

available in your supermarket freezer. These pre-

prepared pastry sheets give great results and are

handy to keep in the freezer.

• Pastry can be homemade or purchased ready rolled.

• Allow sufﬁcient time to defrost frozen pastry sheets

before use but do not allow the pastry to become too

soft as it will be difﬁcult to handle.

• Filo pastry can be used for some pies. Filo pastry from

the chilled refrigerator section of the supermarket is

much more pliable and easy to use than frozen ﬁlo

pastry as it can be brittle and difﬁcult to shape.

• Pastry sheets should be kept chilled in between each

use. Soft pastry sheets are difﬁcult to handle and to

cut clean shapes.

• For a more buttery taste, use puff pastry or butter puff

pastry for the pastry tops with shortcrust pastry for

the pastry bases. This combination is ideal for dessert

pies.

• Shortcrust pastry should not be used for pie tops as it

does not rise or brown properly.

• Unused pastry sheets or cut rounds can be refrozen.

Flat pack into a large freezer bag and seal before

placing back into the freezer.

Bread Pies

• Prepare healthy pies in the Pie Maker using bread for

the bases and tops. Most types of sandwich bread

such as white and wholemeal, can be used.

• Do not use thick or toast bread slices as they will

prevent the lid from closing correctly.

• Avoid heavy grained breads as they may scratch the

cooking plates and are not sufﬁciently pliable for

shaping into the pie wells.

• Cut 4 bread tops and 4 bread bases using 8 slices of

sandwich bread. Position the cutter over each slice

and cut by pressing down into the bread. Do not twist.

Ensure the cut is smooth around the edges.

• The bread does not require buttering before placing

into the pie wells.

Pie Fillings

• Fillings should be cooked and cooled before adding

to the pie base. The cooking time for the pies is not

sufﬁcient to cook raw meat ﬁllings or soften fresh fruit

or vegetable ﬁllings.

• Use canned or pre-cooked fruit, as fresh fruit may

lose juice when heated.

• Pies with insufﬁcient ﬁlling will not form a good shape

and brown on top.

• Excess prepared ﬁllings can be frozen or stored in a

covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

• Be careful when biting into hot pies, especially with

ﬁllings such as cheese, tomato or jam, as these retain

heat and may burn your mouth if eaten too quickly.
